Don't Compare Eva Mendes To Jennifer Lopez
OCT 10, 2008 AT 12:30 PM
Because Eva Mendes and Jennifer Lopez are both two of the most successful Latinas in Hollywood, people tend to compare them. But Eva has had enough. She's sick of people thinking she and J-Lo are so similar.
"I would like
to think I will have a more serious career than J.Lo. We may both be of
Latin origin but that’s where the comparisons stop. She manages her
career like the head of a big corporation, whereas the only thing I
care about is becoming the best actress possible."
Was that a little bit of a dig? I wonder what Jennifer will have to say in response to this.

That means Eva did a good job in the movie if you are having a hard time with her now. I haven't seen it yet, but i really want to. My sister and I debated back and forth Tuesday night but opted to see Nights in Rodanthe then and The Women next time. I hope it's as awesome as it looks. Nights on the other hand....i won't spoil it, it's a must see - but....

Yea, I guess that's a good way of looking at it. And from what I've heard, you will feel the same way about The Women. Enjoy it though... it's definitely a chick flick.

she is right though. 100%
meow...
i don't blame eva one bit - if i was EVER compared to the talentless, cow that is j-HO, i would throw myself down a flight of stairs, while on fire, with bamboo shoots rammed behind my finger nails....
eva rocks and j-BLOWS!!!!
GO EVA!
Hmmmmm...LMAO at Eva...I mean really...publicist much? I love Eva...she's hot and all, but she's got a long way too go if she wants to be the best actress ever...and she could probably start, by not allways picking the same type of roles for herself...and J lo may not be a great actress, but her business sense is something to be envied...J lo will not respond...that would be stooping to Eva's level...HAHAHA! run's her career like a big corporation...what the heck does that mean anyway...LMAO. Cocaine, much?

The more she talks the less I like her.
Well she is right. Jlo is a horrible actress.

they are both horrible actresses & i never want to see a film with either one in it again. c'mon, Ghost Rider & Hitch are not oscar material, so she shouldnt be so high & mighty... i am sure jlo doesnt really care what eva has to say...jlo & her ego will just automatically assume eva is jealous.
I hate Lopez with a passion of a thousand suns! but for Eva to say she runs her business like a corp. is a bit hypocritical no? I mean Eva was all about promoting some perfume not to long ago, no?
Actresses do just that act not sell perfums, has Merryl Streep sell perfum?
Her comment makes me mad. J.Lo takes her career very seriously, AND has time for a family and extra activities. All Eva does is go into rehab.
J-Lo never pretended to be anything but a corporation, she is very open about her aspirations and career goals. as far as Eva, she is a terrible actress from what i've seen, she's got a lot of nerve talking crap like that.
the only good thing that jennifer ca ca head lopez has ever done was be in Selena.. ther than that she is a dumb ass!!! i can't stand her. Have you seen her "intense "sexy" face" she tries to do on the red carpet! god stop trying to be hot jennifer. you are a dumb bitch that tries to be sexy and put on waaaay too much black eyeshadow and it makes you look like shit! DUMB BIIIIIIIITCH!
as for eva: thank you for saying this! i love you

They *both* make bad movies. She shouldn't be pointing a finger at J. Lo, with her track record. losethatgirl blog
This is one thing I've never understood. You'd think, as members of the same minority (Latina women), that Eva would want to have solidarity with JLo. Even if she can't stand JLo as a person, why run her down in public? The success of someone else does not in any way affect your own ability to have a successful career. Why not celebrate both your accomplishments? Instead, Eva just comes off looking bitchy. At least JLo has never been to rehab, Miss Serious Actress....whose most recent project is rolling around in her underwear for Calvin Klein ads. You're hardly in a position to point fingers. Lots of people don't even know who you are.
They just pick the wrong movies to be in or I guess sometimes they get whatever they can. I prefer Eva Mendes and if she wants to be a great actress, she needs to select better scripts. Salma Hayek is better actress than both of them. Jennifer is more of a business woman rather than an actress, she just know how to market herself better. I thought she di ok in El Cantante.
Lol, I agree with Eva!
Salma Hayek is one of the worst actresses ever. Even Jennifer Lopez is better than Salma.
Meh, her comment just put her down a few notches in my respect for her.

That was a bitchy thing to say.
You don't have to like JLO but as a human she deserves respect

Who knows if Eva even really said that? I'm not big fans of either of them, but I've got to hand it to them - they're both more successful than I'll ever be. It's sad that women are always being portrayed as catty and non-supportive of each other.
eva is a bitch and jlo is annoying but eva will NEVER make as much money off her 'talent' like jlo has.
Catfight! Those are fighting words.
Jennifer Lopez is an intelligent woman. She's not in the entertainment business just to be an actress, she's in it to be creative in all aspects of the business. I love how she's evolved from a girl in the bronx to a fantastic business woman.
eva is a bitch, jelousy can do that to a person.

As actresses I'm definitely not a fan of either, but as women in the industry I think they both carry themselves well, and actually have beautiful real woman bodies instead of stick figures. So for that I like them both!
Don't sweat the petty stuff and don't pet the sweaty stuff :)
Is Eva looking for an ass kicking From JLo?

"the only thing I care about is becoming the best actress possible". LOL. She certainly sets the bar high for herself, doesn't she?
It could be a dig or just a statement of fact. J.Lo launched many side businesses and made many lucrative deals at the height of her career--she has a helluva nest egg unless she spent everything, like the rumors say. It took a tremendous amount of work and effort and discipline and business savvy though. She didn't just rent out her name or make a couple of public appearances.
